We were the only boat out at sea today, which meant that we had the whole area to ourselves. We were greeted by two different pods of Bottlenose Dolphins before we even got to see some sharks. The shear diversity of life we saw would baffle the mind of any environmental enthusiast. Massive flocks of birds, huge pods of dolphins and of course numerous sharks. We made the decision to anker in Shark Alley in order to avoid the brunt of the wind and swell. We saw the sharks eat 3 pup seals, two which were at late stages of decomposition and 1 which had literally died in front of my eyes. I saw it struggling in the water from an injury and thereafter it put its head under the water and its final breath bubbled up. Very dramatic to see it all happen in front of one’s eyes. A special recognition must go out to one of the guests on the boat, he was 91 years old and ready to take on shark of about 4.5 meters, well done. A very interesting day out...
